Chiefs Danny Parkins claiming Todd Haley cancelled team meetings Saturday night to go out. - Page 2

Talking about it now, claims and "unnamed" source within the organization accidentally called him last night and they got to talking. The "source" told him he could take it to the air as long as his name was not involved.

Haley seems to be the guy who tries to preserve his teams strength in all areas by going easy in the preseason and if this is true, cancel team meetings.

Its all blowing up in his face right now.

You don't ****ing experiment in the job, Todd.

Last time I checked he's the head coach and it's HIS CALL. If he thinks his guys need a break I don't see it as anybody's business and it's certainly not some scandal like you're pretending it to be. Coaches give players time off during the season, every season.

So who gives a shit if it true or not? If he felt the team and himself needed to relax a little bit BFD.

The world is starting to frighten me. Apart from the Denny's strippers and other nimrods people dissect every thing a coach / politician does in such a level of stupidity its insane. Whats next? Haley took a shit at half time, scandal!!! Should have been talking to the team.

Its because the media has so much airtime to fill today, they end up filling it with useless junk.

Scandal? Not sure where youre getting that. I'm just sharing the story as it is being told to me on air. And time off? This isn't practice, its a team meeting. I personally don't think its a HUGE deal considering we won, just sharing Chiefs news in a Chiefs forum.

Exactly.

I don't think its even a very, very little deal if we had got blasted 88-2

blaise · 12-07-2011, 09:43 AM

They won the game. So, who cares?

This. I swear, I thought Red Sox fans (real ones, not the pink hats) were the most obsessive fans in sports, but I think Chiefs fans are worse. Win or lose, good or bad, it seems like every single thing gets blown up and dissected and, ultimately, someone finds something negative to say. Maybe this was a GOOD thing, like Haley saying, "Look... I know we're massive underdogs, and everyone expects us to lose on the road to a strong playoff contender... but I think you guys are ready for it." Let's say, on your job, you have a task that seems almost impossible, and your boss--who was supposed to oversee it--suddenly says, "You know what, you guys have got this, I'm outta here"... Wouldn't that make you feel confident?

It's a rumor. An unfounded rumor. A story to drive up ratings and mouseclicks. Utter bullshit, and utterly pointless.

I personally could care less if its true or not, I agree it isn't a huge deal. I simply figured some people on here would want to hear it considering all the shit going on. Just sharing it, I never once said anything about a scandal. Its a story related to the Chiefs, so I shared with other Chiefs fans.

Kind of the way I see it, and that's kind of what Danny is getting at. He also is saying he thinks it was planned to " accidentally" call him to get the story out... if true.

Snitches get stitches.

One team meeting would turn everything around?

If true, is there any context? Did the earlier team meeting run extra long? Did the coach feel that everyone understood what they were installing for the game? Did the coach feel that players were pressing too much in the last few games and want to get them loose for a critical road game?

Or, as the story seems to imply, Coach said "F*** It! I'm gonna hit the club!"?

Brock · 12-07-2011, 09:47 AM

I bet if they had that meeting, they would have scored another field goal or something.

BigChiefFan · 12-07-2011, 09:49 AM

I went out to dinner last night away from co workers, I guess I won't be able to do my job today because of it.

It's insignificant.
